US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken suggested that the Biden administration is ready to work on sanctioning International Criminal Court officials.
At a Senate hearing on Tuesday, Republican Senator Lindsey Graham told Blinken he wanted a bipartisan effort to sanction the ICC in response to its prosecutor's call for arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defence Minister Yoav Gallant.
"I welcome working with you on that," Blinken responded.
